      Background

      Anyone who knows me, knows I love a good McDonalds Breakfast! The reality is – it isn’t healthy and is expensive to have often. One of my favorite breakfast dishes there is the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese McGriddle, the flavor of the maple pancake along with the bacon, egg, and cheese is something I have been looking to replicate for a long time. This Bacon McGriddle Breakfast Casserole was just what I was looking for to satisfy my McDonalds craving in the morning.

      Bacon McGriddle Breakfast Casserole Preparation

      This Bacon McGriddle recipe is pretty simple and you may have a majority of the ingredients at home if you make your own breakfasts regularly.

      You can substitute the bacon for sausage, but the bacon is delicious!

      Ingredients you will need include:

      1. Complete pancake mix
      2. Large Eggs
      3. Milk
      4. Shredded Cheese
      5. Cooked and diced Bacon
      6. Maple Syrup
      7. Salt

      Begin with preheating your oven to 350°.

      Next, grease an 11×7 or 8×8 casserole dish (double this recipe for a 9×13 dish if you have a large family or are taking this to a group event). A 11×7 or 8×8 casserole dish serves 6.

      Start mixing the ingredients by combining 3/4 cup of pancake mix, 2 large eggs and 1 cup of milk in a bowl. Whisk until mostly smooth, some lumps are expected and are ok to leave.

      Then add in 2/3 cup of shredded cheese (any kind is ok, I used Colby Jack, since this is what I had in the fridge), 3 strips of cooked, diced bacon, 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are coated in the pancake mix.

      Casserole Baking

      Bake the Bacon McGriddle Breakfast Casserole for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.

      Serving Bacon McGriddle Breakfast Casserole

      Wait approximately 5 minutes after the casserole is out of the oven to cut and serve.

      Serve with additional maple syrup to taste.

      Leftover Reheating

      This Bacon McGriddle Breakfast Casserole is a great make-a-head breakfast. I like to make it on the weekends to take to work during the week. It heats up well in the microwave for a quick and easy weekday breakfast.

      I also have a great make-a-head Amazing Egg Casserole. This casserole is delicious, but takes a little more preparation than the Bacon McGriddle Casserole.

    • No Bake Peanut Butter Granola Bites

      No Bake Peanut Butter Honey Granola Bites

      No Bake Peanut Butter Honey Granola Bites

      In the last few weeks I have been digging up more recipes from my pas. I’m sure many of you have been as well. This recipe for no bake peanut butter honey granola bites was actually my entry for mini 4-H years and years ago. I have found it to be a great alternative to granola bars, and a fantastic breakfast or snack throughout the day! It also makes a great side dish for any brunches you host!

      To begin making your peanut butter honey granola bites start with dumping in your rolled oats and powdered milk into a medium sized mixing bowl.

      Granola and powdered milk

      Then add in your peanut butter and honey. I find it is easier to mix this recipe with a stand mixer. You can you a hand mixer or mix this recipe by hand, just know it is a thicker mixture and is more difficult.

      Adding peanut butter to  granola mix

      This is the perfect recipe to get your kids involved in the kitchen. If they are not sure about trying the granola bites alone, try to add in some semi sweet chocolate chips to the mixture. Chocolate chips always win over my little one!

      Next scoop your granola mix into equal parts and roll into balls. I find it easiest to use a small cookie scoop to get even amounts of dough. The dough rolls into a ball better if it warms in your hand for 2-3 seconds prior to rolling. This granola recipe makes approximately 20 granola bites.

      How to Store Your Granola Bites

      These granola bites do not have to be refrigerated; however, I prefer to eat them cold. They will keep for 3 days at room temp or 7 days in the refrigerator.

      This recipe is great for a snack or breakfast meal prep or as a brunch dish! If you need an additional breakfast recipes check out our perfect instant pot hard boiled eggs, egg casserole, or make ahead French toast sticks recipes!
